Help me out here but I failed to see an immigrant focus during the Alex Preti murder.

My direction here is the Boarder agents were going after a small, gentle group of protestors....No immigrant arrest event seen anywhere? So, how can they not be arrested immediately for attacking protesters leisurely, on the street who are 100% legal and American citizens...


It seems to me they are targeting small groups of random protestors..... What say you folks? ,
l?

1. My thoughts? They have been trained exactly how they are acting. Their purpose is to 100% do things to Americans

and our country for ONE reason. Give the worst president we have ever had a reason to call in military against us. No doubt in my mind that we are headed exactly where he wants us. IF military doesn't refuse his orders we have only one option. We all know what that is.

2. It has nothing to do with immigration - this is Trump stealing the 2026 midterms -

Even the NYTimes has done an article on Bondi trying to extort Minnesota to get their voter rolls. That's what these invasions are about.

Here is the article:

5. Immigration is just an excuse. Minnesota has a very small number of undocumented immigrants

compared to states like Texas and Florida that aren't being invaded but that supported Trump. Trump hates us because we never voted for him; because he hates Tim Walz for being Kamala Harris' running mate; he hates Rep. Ilhan Omar for being a female Somali immigrant who speaks out against him; he hates Minnesota in general for being a successful Scandinavian-style welfare state that provides free lunch for all school children and supports reproductive rights and protects trans people and immigrants. We stand for everything he hates so he sent his Gestapo to terrorize us. It's not working. Fuck you and your goons, Piggy.

Excuse my language. That's the cleaned up version.

ICE never bothered with an arrest target. They got into the street and just started attacking and murdering Americans.
